Pros

The people I worked with were typically great folks. I got lucky by having excellent management in most cases. The benefits and pay are pretty decent for RTP.

Cons

The layers of bureaucracy make process changes difficult. Constant reorgs and constant RAs in favor of offshoring.

In the last few years, the mantra was "do more with less," which led to lots of burnout and low morale. Arvind has been great for the stock price but terrible for company culture. Aggressive cost cutting will likely continue until the only US-based jobs are management and sales.
